A couple of months ago I read about some excellent printable planners at SchoolhouseTeachers.com. But, I was too cheap to pay for a membership. THEN I got the opportunity to review the website for the Schoolhouse Review Crew. Yippee!
And you know what I did first thing? I went and printed off all of the pages that would be useful for me in a planner. There were so many different planner pages from which to choose, and I was able to build a planner that will be perfect for me during this school year.
Once I was done with this task, that only took a few minutes, I started browsing the site. Can I just tell you that I STILL haven't tapped into all this website has to offer.
The first thing I noticed were the full lesson plans offered by some very respectable teachers. For instance, in Geography, Knowledge Quest offers weekly lesson plans with access to printable maps. How about a full-fledged home economics course? Malia Russell of Homemaking911.com offers you daily and weekly lessons. Terrified of teaching your high school student Chemistry? Then let Joey Hajda of friendlychemistry.com do it for you.
And I could go on and on and on about all of the great lessons that are available.
There is still time to do a fun unit study on the Summer Olympics. No need to scour the internet looking for lapbooks or unit studies or literature lists or worksheets or craft ideas ... just go to the SchoolhouseDailies link on the website and let SchoolhouseTeachers.com give you your daily lesson plans. There are LOTS of daily lessons and activities under that tab, including "This Day in History".
Additionally you have access to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, including back issues, and lots of free e-books. And, did I mention the free build-your-own planner pages? Oh yeah, I did.
Here's something I found useful. Under the SchoolhouseLibrary link, there is a tab called Copybooks. I love for my kids to do copywork, but sometimes I don't have, or make, the time to find good subject based work. There are some great copybooks available for download, with topics including money, mothers, fathers, and poems.
